- Simulating a thunderstorm, including atmosphere, charged cloud, building on earth and etc. Estimating which area will get damages.
- Simulating a Lightning stroke. Making a model for the main stroke, and then recursively generating similar models for any branches that may occur. It would be a three dimensional lightning stroke by openGL. Realistic lightning strokes could be generated and displayed in real-time.
- Can I implement this lighting model to Second Life?
